I have two Featherweights that belonged to my mom and grandmother. I saw this video:

and ordered the book and DVD from:

My little machines are all spiffed up and humming along and it was really EASY to do. Didn't even have to ask my husband (who's a total Mr. Fix-it) for help.
You can get just about any part you need from:

sounds like they had some idea, that somebody else might like it, but dropping off at a landfill?
must have been a man...
sorry, guys,...not all men would do that. That is why, we complain about the hubs, but, deep down, your our treasures too! :wink:

People don't know what they have so often. Even in that condition I bet you could get $100.00 if you were so inclined
Oh and yse you most certainly can get the foot pedal. My LQS got me a new one for the one I bought on Ebay.

Every once in awhile I cruise the thrift stores - - especially senior citizen thrift stores ... there are some real classics ... maybe not the featherweight types <g> but, I keep hoping! LOL
Your find just tickles me, and my enthusiasm for looking for gems is renewed.
